We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "SMC",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Electronicstalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Chips enable Ethernet over copper at 10Gbit/s from
Solarflare, which we summarised at the time by saying "Ethernet product specialist uses advanced physical-layer and controller silicon to drive the introduction of 10Gbit/s networks over copper cables".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Resistors provide maximum thermal compliance from
IRC Wirewound and Film Technologies: "Family of power MELF resistors feature extended performance capability with ratings up to 2W".
In November 2006, we covered the news from Nu-Way Electronics
- take a look at Electronic manufacturing services come to Chicago
which says: "Nu-Way Electronics has been appointed to represent electronic manufacturing services firm SMC in the Chicago area".
Take a look also at the news release from IRC Wirewound and Film Technologies, SMT resistors approach wirewound performance,
as well as FPGAs are approved for space-flight duties from Actel Europe,
and Flash MCU seeks automotive applications from Fujitsu Microelectronics Europe.
